Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, the word 'informal' not only refers to the lack of a strict agenda, but also to dress code and tone. Saying an event is 'informal' signals that guests can relax, wear everyday clothes, and speak freely. In formal settings, you’d hear 'evento formal' or 'reunión formal' instead.
